Thin Mints

"Holy cow, these were good! Once the dough was mixed, I lightly floured my hands, rolled the dough into balls and then pressed them down with a flat-bottomed glass jar. Worked like a charm and got the cookies in our tummies faster!"

Samoa Cookies (aka Caramel deLites)

"These were amazing! We put the shortbread on a cookie sheet and poured a spoonful of the topping over them. This made them a little easier to eat because the coconut was not as thick. This recipe is a keeper!"

Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies

Original Girl Scout Cookies

In 1917, the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Okla., decided to sell homemade cookies as a fundraiser. A few years later, Girl Scouts of America published this recipe in American Girl magazine, suggesting troops bake and sell their own cookies for 25 to 30 cents per dozen.
